From Our Clients

As a hockey goalie I have had groin problems for the past 5 seasons. With the rehabilitation I received at AH&WC and using Laser Therapy treatment at the start of training camp. The groin pain went away and I did not have any problems during the entire season. I didn't have to wear a groin rap during play or have to ice up after each game and practice. Thank you AH&WC!!
